The applied methodology is based on the identification and analysis of scientific journal publications indexed in the Scopus database, together with the use of software known as VOSviewer that facilitates the visualization of network maps based on bibliographic data, which results in a significant and novel contribution in this field of study. In effect, the results reflect a significant increase registered in the annual number of publications, registering an increase of 1400% of publications between 1984 and 2017. Regarding the dispersion in the field of study, there are world-impact magazines in the scientific production, the main 14 magazines concentrate 44.6% of the publications and accumulate 51.1% of the citations.
